DAVE: A VLM Vision Encoder for Document Understanding and Web Agents
Brandon Huang, Hang Hua, Zhuoran Yu +3
While Vision-language models (VLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance across multi-modal tasks, their choice of vision encoders presents a fundamental weakness: their low-le…
From Generated Human Videos to Physically Plausible Robot Trajectories
James Ni, Zekai Wang, Wei Lin +5
Video generation models are rapidly improving in their ability to synthesize human actions in novel contexts, holding the potential to serve as high-level planners for contextual r…
Mechanistic Finetuning of Vision-Language-Action Models via Few-Shot Demonstrations
Chancharik Mitra, Yusen Luo, Raj Saravanan +7
Vision-Language Action (VLAs) models promise to extend the remarkable success of vision-language models (VLMs) to robotics. Yet, unlike VLMs in the vision-language domain, VLAs for…
Visualizing Thought: Conceptual Diagrams Enable Robust Planning in LMMs
Nasim Borazjanizadeh, Roei Herzig, Eduard Oks +3
Human reasoning relies on constructing and manipulating mental models -- simplified internal representations of situations used to understand and solve problems. Conceptual diagram…
Navigating the Labyrinth: Evaluating LLMs' Ability to Reason About Search Problems
Nasim Borazjanizadeh, Roei Herzig, Trevor Darrell +2
Large Language Models (LLMs) have recently achieved impressive performance in math and reasoning benchmarks. However, they often struggle with logic problems and puzzles that are r…
Do What? Teaching Vision-Language-Action Models to Reject the Impossible
Wen-Han Hsieh, Elvis Hsieh, Dantong Niu +3
Recently, Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated strong performance on a range of robotic tasks. These models rely on multimodal inputs, with language instructions p…
